Reading?

Tonight we worked on Brantley's valentine cards for his party on Tuesday. We got scooby doo cards and Garfield lollipops to put in them. We were attempting to have Brant write the names. He did okay but it just wasn't working out so I wrote them. We had his class list on a piece of paper. Brantley pointed at one of the names and said is that Olivia. I told him it was. Then I started pointing at other names and asking him who they were. He knew them all. I know he wasn't really reading, only recognizing the way the letters were arranged, but it's a start and I was impressed!
